It's also nice that Eastman didn't feel compelled to use this retelling of Aristophanes to belabor the audience with a message about modern-day feminism. The only message in the play regarding sexual politics is expressed in the lyrics, "Hey, hey, hey, it's still the same today." The real point of this production is for the audience to enjoy itself and have fun. If only more directors would begin at this logical but often overlooked square one.
